Headed by two of the UK’s leading employment lawyers, our team advises on all aspects of employment law, with a focus on issues which are high stakes, sensitive, and those which carry significant reputational risk.

We also provide commercially focused support on day to day issues which arise in the world of work.

A number of our partners are included on the LSLA list of supervising solicitors referred to in CPR25A.

We have significant experience in supervising the execution of search and seizure, imaging and other business protection orders across the UK and internationally.

We provide end-to-end advice for domestic mergers and acquisitions, and assist with English law aspects of cross-border M&A activity, navigating clients through the full deal lifecycle, ensuring strategic alignment, minimised exposure to risk and seamless transaction execution.

In terms of post-merger integration, we work with clients on corporate restructuring, corporate governance alignment and the consolidation of operational entities.

We also advise both high-growth start-ups and investors through equity rounds, helping them to achieve robust governance structures and commercial outcomes.

Whether launching a start-up or restructuring an established corporate group, we provide the clarity and strategic foresight required for long-term commercial success.

We advise established businesses on statutory procedures such as capital reductions, share buy-backs and demergers.  We work with clients and their tax advisers to devise and implement succession planning strategies.

We also advise company boards and individual directors on statutory rights, shareholder rights and board procedures.

Our team has significant experience of working as part of in-house teams within PLCs, large privately owned businesses, and SMEs.

We frequently provide flexible support via secondment arrangements which are tailored to suit the client’s needs, whether that is to provide additional general capacity at busy times, or to assist on specific projects.
